I am curious, what are some popular songs that you think a pro AMV editor could do a real kickass job with, that you haven't seen happen yet? Popular songs where you don't know or can't find any very highly rated AMVs using them already.

I think:

"What Goes Around... Comes Around" (Justin Timberlake) -- could make for an great satire using couples that might be uncanny bedfellows, and of course revenge. For example in my head I am thinking of a Fullmetal Alchemist RoyxEnvy or something. Could make for a serious AMV too.

"Party Rock Anthem" (LMFAO) - I found many amateur dance AMVs on Youtube but nothing that's anywhere near the epic that this could be turned into

"Skyfall" (Adele) - This is new and very popular so I'm sure it's coming!

Heh, I LOVE that justin timberlake song... I might work on a vid to it soon...As for songs I want to see a video for... there is an artist named "Wick" he has some nice songs, id love to see an amv set to his song "Girl" it's a good song!

There's many songs that can fit in AMV making and are very rare, it firstly depends on what your AMV making type is, once you know it, search for new songs for that genre. You will eventually find many songs =D

I did attempt to make one this summer, because I thought the same thing for that song, but I never put it up here because I didn't really like how it turned out since I had rushed to get it done to send into a contest, which I wish I hadn't done. It is up on youtube though if anyone feels so inclined to go and watch it. I've been thinking about maybe re-editing it and putting it up here though if I like the re-edit of it... maybe.

I find it interesting that there is a concept of "these songs need AMVs" because for myself, concept synthesis is totally organic. I hear a song, I know the anime. It may take years, even decades, I suppose, for me to hit on the right combination.

My current project involves I song I've been listening to my entire life... and yet it just recently "gelled" with a given anime in my mind. There are lots and lots of songs which could be used in AMVs in the technical sense, but it's definitely a case of not wanting to rush the process and end up with an anime which doesn't fit as well or at all.
